Recently, T-Mobile introduced the new Android phone from Samsung named Samsung Vibrant T959. If you look at this phone carefully, you will come to realize that the design is exactly same as the one found on Galaxy S 19000. The phone measures 122.4 x 64.5 x 9.9m and weighs only 117.9g. The phone is very comfortable to hold and construction-wise it appears to be very durable. It has got a 4 inch Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen display and is capable of displaying 16m colors at a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. The display is quite bright and you will be able to understand what’s on the screen when you view it under direct sunlight.

There are four touch sensitive buttons below the display. The Samsung Vibrant has got few physical buttons. The volume controller and power button are present on the sides of the phone. On the top side of the phone, you can find 3.5 mm audio headset and microUSB port. At the rear, there is a 5 megapixel auto-focus camera and speakers. Uncovering the back cover will give you access to the battery, SIM card slot and memory card slot.

Samsung Vibrant is powered with 1Ghz Hummingbird processor which boosts the performance of the phone. The internal memory of the phone is 16GB with 512MB RAM and the external memory can detect up to 32GB. The phone comes with 2GB microSD card. You can find the TouchWiz 3.0 overlaid on top of Android 2.1 which allows you to choose from seven homescreens that can be filled with Android widgets. There are plenty of apps on the phone namely Layar, MobiTV, Amazon’s Kindle, YouTube, Google Talk and social networking apps.

It was quite disappointing to know that the Samsung Vibrant could snap mediocre quality snaps. Since the camera lacks flash, snaps taken indoors lacked details. You can capture videos at resolution of 720p @30fps. It has got one of the best music player apps. The app has got tabs which will help in sorting songs by artist, album, playlist and all. It allows you to share songs through email and Bluetooth. It also displays album art and visualizations. The 5.1 channel surround effect enabled earphones gives a very good sound output.

You can perform data transfer on Samsung Vibrant through v3.0 with A2DP Bluetooth and v2.0 microUSB. You can connect to the web through 3G through HSDPA and HSUPA and also through WLAN. The default browser is Flash enabled and has got many features like multi-touch support, precision zooming, window management, bookmarking and many more. Some other features of the phone include stereo FM with RDS digital compass and assisted GPS. The standard Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery gives a stand-by time of 432hours and talk time of over 6 hours.
